Class Lists Binder Upon arrival, put on a badge. Take the binder with the class lists to the scheduled teacher’s classroom. See map if needed.

Attendance Sheet (in Binder) The teacher will direct you as to which students you will take. Please find all students’ names on the checklist and write the date next to their name. Walk students quietly to the Carson Reading Room.

Volunteer Directions (Wear our Special Badge) Enjoy reading for 15-20 minutes. Clean up. Choose a “Reading Star” and give a prize. Walk the students back to their class. ** In the event of a fire drill, follow the emergency exit map to the outside, then find the homeroom teacher.

Remind Students To: Find a book and a seat quickly so they can fully utilize their 20 minutes of reading time. Use a “book marker” when they take a book to mark where it goes upon return. Review the Carson Reading Room rules that are posted.

What Can You Do While in the Room? Help students select books. Have a student read to you. Read aloud to a student. Read with a group of students. Monitor students as they read independently.

Prize Basket Choose a “Reading Star” to receive a prize. Pick a child doing a particularly great job. Place a star * next to the child’s name on the class list. Try to choose a child who has not been chosen previously. Pick a prize from the prize box for the student.
